PHILADELPHIA — In his second injury-rehab game, Braves outfielder Jordan Schafer went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI ground out Sunday in Triple-A Gwinnett's 4-1 win at Durham.
He was 1-for-4 with a double and another RBI grounder Saturday in his first game since going on the disabled list July 4 with a stress fracture in his right ankle from fouling a ball off it.
“Still a little sore in his legs,” manager Fredi Gonzalez said of Schafer, whose game is primarily speed-based.
Asked if he might have three or four rehab games, Gonzalez said, “Maybe a little bit more. I’m thinking we’ll have a little better read by the time we get home.”
The Braves start a three-game series Monday at Washington, then have a day off at home Thursday before a nine-game homestand against the Marlins, Phillies and Nationals.
Catcher Gerald Laird will probably play a couple of injury-rehab games later in the week. He’s recovering from a procedure to remove a kidney stone and is eligible to come off the DL on Friday.
